Call for presentations and participationMSPLS'2000 at DePaul CTI

The Midwest Society for Programming Languages
and Systems (MSPLS) will meet on December 9, 2000 at the
School of Computer Science, Telecommunications and Information
Systems, DePaul University, in downtown Chicago.

About MSPLS. The Midwest Society for
Programming Languages and Systems is a group of people who are
interested in programming languages, programming systems, and
system software in general...and happen to be located
somewhere near the midwestern USA. The purpose of the
Society's meetings is to provide an informal forum for
presenting and discussing new ideas and ongoing work, while
encouraging interaction between researchers in this
geographical area. In other words, the workshop meetings are
places for exploring, not for publishing final results. As a
friendly and informal workshop, MSPLS has a tradition of being
an excellent place for new researchers to give first talks on
their work, giving them practice in presentation skills and
also helping to establish them in the Midwest SIGPLAN
community. The Society homepage
includes more information including past meetings.

The meeting day. As in past years, we
will have workshop talks during the day, followed by an
informal evening meal at a local restaurant.

The draft program
and schedule is now available. Abstracts, and full papers for
selected talks, will be assembled as a technical report issued
by DePaul CTI, a copy of which will be distributed to all
participants.

The workshop itself is free, but please RSVP
so that we may arrange lunch and snacks. Dinner is not
covered, but will be at a reasonably-priced restaurant near
the meeting site.
